My crushing on my crush is now officially unhealthy. I just need to think of him as a friend and nothing more! But damn, it's hard to do! If I could only gain a crush on someone else, it would help take away a crush on him. But whoooooooo?!

I'm going to do the super mature thing and tell my crush I have a crush on them via text because I'm too shy to say it in person without drinking and they don't drink anymore. Scary!

I don't have the guy I'm crushing on's number otherwise I might have to follow in your footsteps. I might give him my number next time I see him. I still have no idea if he's dating anyone but I am really hoping that some of what he has said to me means he's not and he's interested. I want him to be interested! He's a really good personality match for me I think and he's really nice and good looking. a;lskdjf;as HALP. My heart hurts and I can't concentrate.

ETA to respond to second Srock post: DO IT. You can do it. You can you can you can you can! Rah Rah Rah!

"I would just really like to make out with you sometime but don't really know what to think. This is the only thing being sober makes harder, I think. This and falling off tables. Also here is a cat picture." And then there's a cat picture. You would fall in love with me right?

yeah pretty much would fall in love with anyone who sends me cat pictures and says they want to make out.

I may even take out the "but don't even know what to think" best concise and to the point imo! "I would really like to make out with you some time. This is the only thing being sober makes harder. This and falling off tables. Also here is a cat picture" etc

I tend to get sort of telegram-y in some texts though, biased opinion.

I decided to be a grownup and just talk to him. I asked if they needed me to bring people just to fill seats and he said they were probably good on attendance so I didn't. This stuff is never as big a deal as I think it is, we had a pretty swell night.

I told them I was fine with being their friend who wants to make out with them and everyone needs a few of these for self-esteem's sake. Oh well. Officially giving up on anything but being celibate forever.
